Cultural Legacies of Slavery in Modern Spain is the first book-length study to examine the enduring impact of slavery’s legacies on Spanish cultural representations and institutions. Spanning from the nineteenth century to the present, this volume explores how Spain’s cultural production both reflects and shapes the nation’s historical consciousness—particularly its relationship with colonialism and slavery.
Also presenting is Aurélie Vialette, Cultural Legacies of Slavery in Modern Spain co-editor and Associate Professor and Acting Director of Undergraduate Studies for Spanish at Yale University.
This event is also a retirement celebration for Akiko Tsuchiya, honoring her many contributions to teaching and the academic community. Please join us in recognizing her achievements and wishing her well in this new chapter!
We look forward to celebrating with you!
